FOREST LODGE

The beat is situated 8 miles up Glen Tilt with the lodge positioned at the heart of the 25,000 acres of deer forest and heather moorland. The River Tilt flows within a stone's throw of the lodge making it a great base for some very good sport and providing outstanding scenery.

Stalking starts in July with the numbers varying from 8 per week at the beginning of the season to 20 at the end with two stalking parties out each day. After a steep climb out of the glen the walking becomes less strenuous and the views become spectacular. The Beinn-a-Ghlo mountain range lies on the East side of the glen with the summit reaching up to 1120 metres.

Mixed sporting weeks with grouse, stags and salmon fishing for parties of up to 20 guests start in August with grouse bags starting at about 50 brace and reducing as the season continues into September.

The fishing beat extends over 7 miles and provides in the region of 30 salmon during an average season. There is also a very productive wild brown trout hill loch about one hour’s walk from the end of the landrover track for the more adventurous.
